Don’t Give Up

A candle burning in the middle of the night fades in the morning sun
Seems like it lights up everything around, but our eyes have grown too dim, grown too dim

One more time before you have to go—I really want to kiss you again
We spent the afternoon in the afterglow, far from this cruel world, cruel world

Don’t give up too soon, oh my children
Change is coming, change is coming—and it’s coming soon…

Young man lying by the side of the road just a shadow in the morning light
His last sunrise was yesterday—now his eyes have grown too dim, grown too dim

You don’t read a book by flipping the pages—leaving no time to breathe
And the city will mould itself around you, even when you’re down on your knees, down on your knees

Don’t give up too soon, oh my children
Change is coming, change is coming—and it’s coming soon…
Don’t you know it’s coming soon

Don’t you give up too soon, don’t you give up too soon, don’t you give up too soon…

(Party noises!)

Don’t give up too soon, oh my children
Change is coming, change is coming—and it’s coming soon…
Don’t you know it’s coming soon

I saw through the haze just the other day to a world that lies beyond
It’s a place that’s been there all along—if we could just remember the road, remember the road, remember the road

Don’t give up too soon…
